Also that she did first make lawes, whereby iustice should be equally ministred to all men, vyolence and wrong being by feare taken awaye. Hero∣dotus wryteth, that the Aegiptians affirme Ceres and Bacchus to beare the chiefe rule in hell. This Ceres as poets feigne, had a daughter by Iupiter named Proepina, whom Pluto God of hell caryed awaye by stealth as she was walking. Wherefore Ceres in great sorrow lighting torches at the Mount Aetna, traueyled ouer all the worlde almost to seeke hir daughter. At the length she was tolde by Arethusa the Nymph, that hir daughter was in hell, and stolne away by Pluto: She therefore going to Iupiter complayned of the vniust dealing of his brother Pluto, and at the length obtey∣ned that hir daughter shoulde returne againe on thys condition, that while she was in hell she tasted of no fruite. In the ende when Ceres hoped well to recouer hir daughter, one Ascalaphus bewrayed that while Proserpina walked in Plutos Orcharde, she plucked a pomgranate, and tasted one grame of it, vpon which detection it coulde not be that Proserpina shoulde re∣turne. Wherefore Ceres in reuengement of his blab∣blishe tongue, turned Ascalaphus into an Owle. But Iupiter to quiet his sisters minde, graunted that hyr daughter halfe the yeares space shoulde be in heauen with the Goddes, the other halfe yeare in hell with hir husbande.
